hallo ! vou escrever em português porque acho que nos entendemos sendo ambes da península ibérica, mas se for difícil de entender podes usar o google tradutor ou pedir para reescrever a mensagem em inglês! also respond in the language thats easiest for u 💛

estou super fascinade/obcecade com uma música vaqueira da tua playlist, a que começa aos 3:27 mins neste track: https://spotify.link/Dhd0cic1qJb

e queria perguntar se sabes se essa música tem um nome em particular ou se está nalgum cancioneiro vaqueiru que possa consultar ! gosto muito de cantar música tradicional ibérica com amigues (principalmente música minhota e música gallego-portuguesa medieval 🌟) e tenho ouvido esta música em "repeat"!! é tão linda !!

espero que estejas a ter uma ótima primavera e que a mensagem não tenha sido difícil de entender :^)

éi!!! i hope it is alright that i write this response in english and perhaps post publically, i can always translate if needed (into spanish or also i could try portuguese though i cannot promise it will come out as well). i do understand some portuguese and took a class through my university of portuguese for spanish speakers though that was a while ago and my portuguese is not great so i did also run it through a translator.

as i also mentioned earlier, this would be a vaqueirada. vaqueirada is a term for Vaqueiro music in general though also is a term for Vaqueiro music that conforms to certain standards, in particular usually 3/8 or 6/8 time. other Vaqueiro songs include gaḷḷegadas and xotas. to be honest, i played violin for over 10 years, and am not very good at classifying them. as far as i know this song i considered a vaqueirada.

the particular song you mentioned, starting at 3:27 of Esbilla de Vaqueiradas is called "Tengu lus güechus hincháus" (there are many ways this is spelled due to no standardization of the Vaqueiro language/dialect: Tengo los güechos hinchados, Tengu lus güechus hinchadus, etc....)

This vaqueirada was one of those recorded by famous American ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax in his trip to Asturies in 1952. His particular recording is actually sung by Juan Uría Ríu, a researcher well known for his work on the Vaqueiros. It comes from Santa María del Puerto/El Puerto del Somiedo. He notes the similarity between "Tengu lus güechus hincháus" and the Extremaduran romance "La bastarda y el segador". It is true that Vaqueiros in this area of southern Somiedo had contact with transhumant herders from Extremadura. The Vaqueiros here would sometimes buy merino sheep from these Extremaduran herders. It is likely that the similarity in these songs is due to their contact. The lyrics pabilun is the Vaqueiro onomatopoeia for hits on the pandeiru and shows up in a few other vaqueiradas as well as in this Extremaduran song.

Thank you so much for your interest in Vaqueiro music and culture! If you want to know more or hear more, I do have some documents and videos of interest:

This booklet is the work of Antón Ochoa and Rogelia Gayo. Rogelia Gayo was a Vaqueira singer of traditional vaqueirada. She has a sad story. She was popular before and after the dictatorship, when the Spanish govt and anthropologists began to take interest in the 'pueblos malditos' of Spain and wanted their own people to show off at places like the world fair similar to indigenous people in the Americas. Rogelia Gayo was extremely proud of Vaqueiro culture and music and for their interest, was chosen for this endeavor, and sang at the wedding of Alfonso XIII and also in Nazi Germany and Italy to display the Vaqueiro people as an anthropological spectacle. She saw the assimilation and massive population decline of Vaqueiros and so with Antón Ochoa, she recorded the lyrics of Vaqueiro songs across the brañas in 1929. Though her work was never released until 2014. Rogelia Gayo died in the 70s and today her grave is built over and unmarked.

Here is Alan Lomax's book of his trip to Asturies, parts of it are about Asturian xaldo (non-Vaqueiro) music and parts of it are about Asturian Vaqueiro music. You will find the lyrics and notes of "Tengu lus güechus hincháus" here. It is in both English and Spanish.

Here is some various short notes and papers from authors Fidela Uría Libano and José Manuel Fraile Gil on Vaqueiro music. On Vaqueiro dances. On Vaqueiro instruments. On traditional Vaqueiro music.

Here is the spotify album of Alan Lomax's recordings of his trips to Asturies. Again, not all of it is Vaqueiro music, you would have to read the booklet.

Here is one video of Las Tsacianiegas, a musical group of two Leonese Vaqueira sisters who do traditional Leonese Vaqueira music. They have no music on spotify but all on youtube, uploaded from lots of different people. The ones from Diputación León like this one are very well shot. They are all traditional songs save their one original song Xota de San Miguel de Laciana, which is very much based on traditional music.

let me know if any of these links do not work!

um, i hope this answers your question and you find this helpful! thank you again for your interest in Vaqueiro music and culture and for finding our songs beautiful! I also hope you have a great spring!

r/gratefuldoe | The Man of Somiedo: A psychically disabled and malformed man presumably locked away from the world until his death.

u/moondog151:

[...] On January 9, 2015, two hikers called the police after discovering a dead body outside the town of Puerto de Somiedo, Spain. The body was found wrapped in a blanket next to a narrow creek. Police unwrapped the body from the blanket and discovered that the decedent was naked and missing one leg which was determined to be the result of scavenging from animals. The decedent was 135 cm tall, had a beard, was 45-60 years of age, weighed 35 kg and was skinny with his ribs prominent against the skin.

The decedent had disproportionately long limbs and fingers and a disproportionately small head while his chest protruded outward indicating that he suffered from Pectus carinatum, his back was also hunched indicating that he suffered from Kyphosis. He also suffered from severe cataracts. An autopsy was performed on the man which revealed that despite his prominent ribs he had, in fact, received adequate nutrition and that his beard and facial hair were well shaved and his skin taken care of indicating that he was properly cared for in life. His DNA was sequenced which showed that the decedent was lacking in Marfan and suffered from a mild case of Cockayne syndrome. As sufferers of the decedent's various conditions also suffer from intellectual disabilities and are unable to live on their own. Since the decedent had good hygiene and no signs of malnutrition police reasoned that he likely had at least one caretaker in his life. No signs of violence were found on his body and a medical examiner ruled that the decedent's cause of death was a heart attack. As the condition is rare and due to his physical malformations police were initially confident that he'd be quickly identified. Police went to Puerto de Somiedo, the closest human settlement to the location the decedent was found. Unfortunately, none of the residents knew the man prompting the police to expand their search to the neighbouring towns. Despite the expanded search nobody recognized the decedent or anyone with his features. No one matching his description appeared in local hospital records and assisted living facilities had no residents matching his description. Police searched birth records of the entire municipality and Asturias province as well as created a list of women who could've worked as rural midwives around the time the decedent had been born. Due to a lack of results from any of these efforts, the police came to the conclusion that the decedent was either not a local or that his family kept his birth and existence a secret since at the time of the decedent's birth Spain would've been under the conservative dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Police believed that if he was hidden from society his body was placed where it was discovered to make sure the decedent was found and buried properly. Spanish authorities admit that this theory is just speculation based on a lack of leads on their part. Police examined the blanket the decedent was wrapped in and discovered that the blanket was manufactured in the 1950s in that only two stores in Spain produced this blanket located in Gijón and Burgos. Police visited both stores but their receipts and purchase records were not preserved. Police lastly submitted the decedent's DNA to every DNA database in Europe but no matches turned up. No further leads have surfaced and the decedent was buried in a local cemetery with a blank tombstone.

Day 55 - to San Lorenzo Pass (1347 m)

Yesterday I had driven up to Alto de Farrapona at 1708 metres to undertake the trek around the high lakes. But I was defeated by the wind. It is possible to stay overnight up there, but yesterday it wasn’t even possible to open the van doors.

I returned, not to be thwarted, this morning. The wind had all but gone, though at the pass itself, it always blows. I arrived with the cloud still high, but as the morning proceeded it sank lower. Around the lakes there was no wind, and in and out of the cloud was very atmospheric. Being Saturday, there were a few people around, not many though, some with the usual comedic attire of city folk who rarely experience the mountains. I’ve said before, I hesitate to pass judgement, as the hills are everyone’s.. but that can’t stop me from being amused by 500 euro white trainers getting mucked up, cell phone signal giving out during a loud conversation on speaker phone with the induced expletives, and umbrellas..

It’s a much walked route, but at this time of year, and in these conditions, quite splendid.

It is possible to drive a rough road from Alto de Farrapona for about 15 kilometres to the village of Torrestio. It is actually part of the Trans-Cantabria MTB route. But at the moment it has some ‘obras’ (roadworks), and probably isn’t the best idea in a campervan. I drove around to the north and east for half an hour and settled for the afternoon of sport.

Finishing the day at the San Lorenzo Pass, at 1347 metres (below). It is a special place.

For one, it marks the border between two National Parks, Somiedo to the south, and Las Ubiñas-La Mesa to the north.

For two, because it lies on the Camino Real del Puerto de la Mesa, a long distance path that follow the old Roman road between. It is 60 kilometres in length and traverses the Cantabrian mountains between Asturias and Leon. It is usually walked in three stages. I did a few km on it tonight, heading south, and will head north on it tomorrow.

And for three, because it lies on the Trans-Cantabria MTB route, or BTT in Spanish. My route across the Cantabrians is inspired by this.

It is an incredibly difficult and little known long distance bike route with terminuses just west of Villafranca (where I was a few of weeks ago) and Irurtzun in Basque in the east. It’s just under 1,000 kilometres, and has climbing of more than 33,000 metres. It’s not yet on the Bikepacking website surprisingly. It would make for a phenomenal few days… maybe 10 for an expert, 20 for the likes of me.

Never knew about the Martyred Red Cross Nurses of Astorga, Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Three laywomen who were martyred near Astorga in 1936 amid the Spanish Civil War were beatified on Saturday. Pilar Gullón, Olga Monteserín, and Octavia Iglesias were beatified on May 29, 2021, in Astorga Cathedral. All three were volunteer Red Cross nurses. When the Somiedo hospital to which they were assigned came under attack, they didn’t flee, nor during their captivity did they renounce their faith despite the outrages they were subjected to by the Republican militiamen. They were briefly imprisoned and then executed on Oct. 28, 1936. The Spanish Civil War was fought from 1936 to 1939 between the Nationalist forces, led by Francisco Franco, and the Republican faction. During the war, Republicans martyred thousands of clerics, religious, and laity; of these, 11 have been canonized, and more than 1,900 beatified. All three answered an appeal for Red Cross auxiliaries in summer 1936, working at Puerto de Somiedo hospital in Gijon, which was held by Gen. Francisco Franco’s National Army. On Oct. 27, 1936, their area was captured by Republican forces, who stormed the hospital, killed the chaplain, wounded soldiers, and arrested the nurses with 70 others. Witnesses said the three women, mistaken for Catholic nuns, were tortured and raped overnight, with a car engine revving to drown their screams, and shouted: “Viva Cristo Rey” (“Long live Christ the King”), when they were stripped and shot Oct. 28. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRAOT0LEVf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
